Maybe someone with Flash could turn this into a nice little animated gif for those of us that hate flash  :ninja:  :whistle:

I just tried real quick to hook it up for you, and I got the following when trying to open the .swf in Flash...

One of the guys from England said that 50 people can play online in PDZ. And that as many players as possible can appear on the screen. The possibilities are endless.. I wonder what Sony will do.

hmm.. :/ I actually liked one of the prototype designs better than the current one.. BTW, could someone go through the trouble of posting pics of all the previous prototypes shown in the video? I'd appreciate it. (I don't have access the full show, at least not the modding part of it (pimp my ride))

Test Drive Unlimited

When driving online, players will see other 360 gamers driving around the island and can challenge each other by flashing their brights. There is a map editor that allows players to quickly mark a start point and an end point on the map and decide the rules of the race. Players can wager money or cars when setting up these challenges. Feel like creating a three hour race where the looser forfeits their ride? Press a few buttons and the work is done. The size of the island means that even in these marathon competitions, players may never see the same stretch of road twice.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 3

The game looks incredible from a visual standpoint. The soldiers walked with smooth barely noticeable motion-captured movement, their bodily actions looking less and less like polygonal puppets and more and more like real human beings. The scrambled, dove under cover, crouched, and strained, wielded guns and shot enemies, and all with superb and believable motion. The soldier gear was more detailed, the fatigues was better textured and more lifelike, showing wrinkles and creases, and the facial detail on each soldier showed off a much more believable human expressions.

the damn xbox 360 console is faster than the machines you design its games on. xbox features a processor of 3.2 ghz with 3 cores. The fastest mac as far as i know is 2.7 ghz dual.

There are no dual-core Macs yet.

The processor that Apple calls the "G5" is very, very different from what's in the Xbox 360. It's the same instruction set, but it's more closely related to the Power 5 (with its SMT support).

I just read that on xbox.com that this machine can do a whopping teraflop.

My 3 GHz P4 can only go upto 12 gigaflops.

I would need 80 P4 machines to match its performance.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure they're counting all three processors PLUS the GPU in that Teraflop calculation.

Not to say it isn't a phenomenally impressive humber. But you can't make a direct comparison between that and whatever GFlop score your P4 may or may not achieve (12 sounds high for a P4).

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
